Differences in the display of Firefox and Chrome styles on the website https://aistudio.google.com. In the first photo, Chrome and the styles look as they should, but in the second photo, Firefox and the styles do not work. I understand that this is most likely the fault of Google, which has prioritized optimization for Chrome over full cross-browser compatibility, but are there any solutions to fix this?

I've used Firefox my entire life, and completely severed ties with Chrome and Opera as privacy concerns cropped up, and have always recommended Firefox to friends and colleagues. But with the new CEO instantly backtracking on privacy concerns by pretending AI is just a buzzword that makes stockholders happy, I will be telling everyone to switch to librewolf or waterfox or zen instead. AI is glorified spyware, literally causes cancer as it poisons the water used to cool the necessary systems, and can't even tell you how many months are in the year or how many of them include a 'Y', I don't want this forced into my life for any period.

Please remove and do not add any AI/ML features to Firefox, it's the only mainstream browser of this kind left, i was planning on buying some merch but I don't think this company deserves my money if it tries to make cash off me in an insidious way either way

I love firefox. I recommend it to everyone. Because it's the only browser that appeared to have my best interest at heart. I develop extensions firefox-first rather than chrome-first. I don't want generative AI getting anywhere near any of my things, and I'm sorry to say I've switched to Waterfox for now. Please backtrack on this, I just want to use the internet without AI plastered in my face :<

I know I am far from the first person to bring this up, but it is absolutely horrid how a browser that is supposed to be one of the better options for privacy is starting to integrate more and more unwanted AI "features". None of us want this, nobody asked for this. Generative AI (including LLMs like ChatGPT and its equivalents) is horrific to even try to get a correct answer out of. It's simply processing your input and guessing what you want to hear in its output. It doesn't give facts, it doesn't help the user experience, it just makes things worse.

Every single time a new AI...thing is added, I have to go find a way to turn it off. If this keeps going, I cannot see a future where Firefox is a viable option for secure browsing. If anything, it may actually become on-par with or, dare I say worse than Google Chrome.

Hi! I have seen that Mozilla will be moving forwards with integrating AI to Firefox. I am very uncomfortable with this, as AI poses a risk to the privacy and security that made me choose Firefox in the first place. If this is the case and AI is truly integrated (at least without an option to turn it off or opt-out completely) I will no longer use this browser and switch to something else. I enjoy Firefox so I am hoping that this will not be necessary....but we will see.

For bunnings.com.au and youtube.com I can't get the websites to respond to mouse clicks. I run Firefox ESR. I can't install any chrome based browser as they are blocked. I plan to stay with Firefox. I am on 140.6.0esr. This problem has been happening since at least 140.2.0

When I go to youtube.com and type in the search bar, nothing happens. When I go to bunnings.com.au same. I can't search. Clicks on anything are ignored. There may be other sites I have not yet discovered. I can type in the search bar but pressing enter or clicking search does nothing.

For you tube, if I go to DDG and do a search, the you tube videos will play when embedded there, but the actual youtube site won't work for me.

What I've tried. Disabled all add ons Uninstall all add ons Disable enhanced tracking Run Firefox in troubleshooting/safe mode Disable WIndows firewall Remove WIndows hosts file Disable all router firewalls Disconnect from VPN Restart router Clear Firefox cache Delete all cookies Rename prefs.js and restart Firefox with defaults Create a new Firefox profile Run virus scan - nothing found. Reinstalled Firefox Reinstalled Windows

Not sure what to try next.

Use of AI in Firefox destroys incentive to use Firefox at all. Implementation of AI features represents an obvious misunderstanding of the browser's userbase. I will switch browsers.

A few days ago my saved passwords all disappeared. I have been logging in manually and when I do Firefox asks if I want to save the password and I click yes. The password then shows up in the saved Passwords. But... in a day or so it disappears again. What's going on? I have not changed any settings.

Since last update (early mid Dec) browser history is not been deleted properly on clicking delete history. Recently opened tabs remain in history even after 3 to 5 requests to delete. The problem is the same on opening private purple tabs. Transfers history to normal tab history. Phone Samsung S21 Regards Rich

I use Firefox specifically because I appreciate(d) the flexibility and the privacy. Default AI makes it significantly more difficult to customize the browser to my preferences (ie, zero AI anywhere) and threatens the privacy that Firefox is known and recognized for. This is an absolutely incomprehensible decisions; it is no longer a "trustworthy" browser if it incorporates AI. Why ruin a good thing??

There is a common error documented in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding but none of the solutions fix my problem.

I have signed out of my PC and mobile devices Done a complete uninstall of firefox on the Windows 11 machine Searched and removed ALL files on the drive associated with Firefox or Mozilla, including cache and temp Searched and removed ALL Firefox or Mozilla keys in the registry Checkdisk Used update to refresh the windows install Multiple reboots

and a fresh download and install of Firefox. And still get the "already running" error. If I wait long enough - several minutes - I will get the "crash report" screen as the background process finally ends.

Any suggestions?

Firefox has been the most mainstream "good guy" browser for a long time, but it's no system's default. People use Firefox deliberately -- installing it by choice. We have other options (like LibreWolf) waiting for us, and we'll leave with one of them as soon as it's the better option. Save your money, save your customer base, save the environment, and don't try and shove another useless AI down our throats.

I don't want to see more AI features on this browser. I don't care for its harmful effects on the environment and I use Firefox to escape the bullshit of Google Chrome and other web browsers. I'm probably going to switch completely if more AI features are added.

The rise of AI in a browser i specifically use to not have to deal with it is honestly not making me want to use it anymore. Stop implementing AI and get off the enshittification train.

The only reason to use this website is that you're the only otpion without AI nonsense in it. Why on erth would you ever choose to do something that removes one of the primary reasons to use your service over competitors.

I've been using Firefox for 20 years. I love it for the accessibility, the ability to control what I want and how I use it without a bunch of shady corporations peering over my shoulder. But if this new CEO decides to force AI into it, just like every other business and browser out there, I'm done. I'm going to move on to Librewolf or something similar. I am so sick of everyone and their mother deciding we all need generative AI in our lives, forcing it down our throats even when a person takes a clear stance that they have no interest in it. I'm not interested in it. I want to do my own writing, and my own searching, and make my own decisions, thank you very much. Adding in a bunch of AI crap now means Firefox will no longer stand out from the rest of the big-name browsers. You'll be just like everyone else.

Firefox does not start automatically when Windows 11 starts. When I do start it manually, then a small rectangle appears on the screen in the upper left corner of the screen!

Please address issues.
